Developers worldwide use Easter eggs as a brilliant marketing strategy to create hype around their product in the gaming community. In addition, they also use it to communicate with the players and establish a sense of realism.
If you’ve played games developed by Ubisoft, chances are you’re acquainted with their love for planting Easter eggs. And, the Far Cry series isn’t devoid of this peculiarity.
In Far Cry 6, Easter eggs are a notch harder to notice, but that’s precisely why you’re here.
In Far Cry 6, Ubisoft has hidden Easter eggs referencing other games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Battle for Atlas, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Additionally, weapon skins and a list of names are also a part of the hidden secrets.
Let me tell you about the 13 amazing Easter Eggs that Far Cry 6 has in store for you.
1Easter Egg #1 – Jawson Trophy
You can find the Jawson trophy in the vast ocean next to the shores of Yara. It’s a tribute to Jason Brody from Far Cry 3, and you can obtain it by killing a shark with a grenade.
Surprisingly, the developers also intended it to refer to the 1980s blockbuster movie Jaws.
2Easter Egg #2 – Atari 2600
In Far Cry 6, navigate to the sidearm section and select the appearance option for the gun named Wooden Panel. You’ll come across a skin called Atari 2600.

3Easter Egg #3 – Golden Apple
In Pino Crest north of Costa Del Mar, you’ll find a note on the shelf of a bunker. The phrases “Golden Apple artifact” and “Crate marked Electrum” written on it refer to the mind-controlling devices, Apples of Eden, from Assassin’s Creed and Starlink.
44. Easter Egg #4 – Dolph Laserhawk
Given you’ve installed the Blood dragon DLC pack, a K9000 will be your sidekick during the campaign. If you take a closer look at its collar tag, there’ll be a QR code.

You’ll find a crate of bananas in various locations such as the oil rig, the underground bunker of the metrological station, a blue shack at the movie studio, and the sugar mill.
On top of these crates rests a photo of a dog. This means either the thief loves his dog or the dog himself is the real culprit.
